每个多米诺骨牌恰好覆盖两个小正方形,所以先看每个棋盘有多少个小正方形
Each domino covers exactly two small squares, so focus on how many small squares each board has.
大提示:
棋盘要被完全覆盖,总格数必须是偶数;用两个维度相乘求每个棋盘的格数
A board can be fully covered only if its total number of squares is even; find the number of squares in each board by multiplying its two dimensions.
解答:
每个多米诺骨牌覆盖 个小正方形,所以能被不重叠多米诺完全覆盖的棋盘必须有偶数个小正方形。
各棋盘的格数为:,,,,。只有 是奇数,所以不能被完全覆盖。(每个格数为偶数的棋盘都有一条边长是偶数,很容易用多米诺骨牌铺满。)
所以正确答案是 B。
Every domino covers exactly squares, so any board that is completely covered by non-overlapping dominoes must contain an even number of small squares.
Counting squares: and Only is odd, so that board cannot be covered. (Each of the even boards has a side of even length and is easily tiled with dominoes.)
Thus, the correct answer is B .

Several students are competing in a series of three races. A student earns points for winning a race, points for finishing second, and point for finishing third. There are no ties. What is the smallest number of points that a student must earn in the three races to be guaranteed of earning more points than any other student?
答案:D
小提示:
要保证领先,要考虑最坏情况:另一个学生也尽可能得高分
To be guaranteed the lead, plan for the worst case where another student does as well as possible
大提示:
依次检查可能的三场总分;对每个总分,判断剩余名次是否允许另一名学生追平或超过它
Check the attainable three-race totals in increasing order; for each one, see whether the remaining places allow a rival to tie or exceed it
解答:
总分 并不能保证第一,例如 可能被另一个学生也得到 分。
但如果一个学生得到 分,那么剩下的名次使任何其他学生最多得到 分。因此 分能保证领先。
所以正确答案是 D。
A total of (for example ) does not guarantee first place, since another student could also reach
But if one student scores the remaining places give every other student at most So points guarantees the lead.
Thus, the correct answer is D .

大提示:
被切掉的小立方体的上、前、后三个面原本在表面上,去掉 平方英尺;凹口的底面和两个侧壁成为新表面,又增加 平方英尺
The cube’s top, front, and back faces were on the surface ( square feet removed); the notch’s floor and its two side walls become new surface ( square feet added)
解答:
被切掉的小立方体有三个面原来在立体表面上:上面、前面、后面,所以移除了 平方英尺表面积。
切出凹口后,又露出三个新面:凹口底面和两个侧壁,共增加 平方英尺。因此表面积不变。
所以正确答案是 C。
The removed cube had three faces on the surface of the solid (top, front, and back), so square feet of surface are removed.
Cutting it out exposes three new faces (the floor of the notch and its two side walls), adding square feet. The surface area is unchanged.
Thus, the correct answer is C .

The vertical axis indicates the number of employees, but the scale was accidentally omitted from this graph. What percent of the employees at the Gauss Company have worked there for years or more?
小提示:
因为纵轴刻度未知,所以不要用具体数值,而是数 X 的个数
Since the vertical scale is unknown, work with the number of X’s rather than any value
大提示:
用工作年数 到 上方的 X 个数除以所有 X 的个数
Divide the X’s over years through by the total number of X’s
解答:
不论缺失的刻度是多少,每个 X 都代表相同数量的员工。共有 个 X 分布在工作年数 到 的各栏上,全图共有 个 X。
